Features

  • Diverging Optics: Engineered to diverge parallel light, the double concave lens is ideal for applications requiring the dispersion of light beams, such as beam expansion and light projection.
  • Negative Focal Length: Unlike convex lenses, the double concave lens has a negative focal length, enabling it to diverge light rays outside the lens.
  • Uniform Curvature: Both sides of the lens feature the same radius of curvature, ensuring symmetrical light dispersion and consistent optical performance.
  • Broad Spectral Range: Constructed from high-quality BK7 material, these lenses offer excellent transmittance from visible light to near-infrared wavelengths (350-2000nm), providing versatility across various optical setups.
  • Precision Design: Engineered with precise diameter and center thickness tolerances, guaranteeing uniformity and reliability in optical performance.
    Optimized Surface Quality: Features λ/4 surface figure at 633nm, minimizing optical aberrations and ensuring high-quality imaging.
  • Customizable Options: Available in various diameters (Dia), effective focal lengths (EFL), back focal lengths (BFL), center thicknesses (CT), and edge thicknesses (ET), providing flexibility to meet specific application requirements.
  • Coating Options: Offered with optional custom anti-reflective (AR) coatings to enhance light transmission and reduce glare, optimizing performance in different lighting conditions.
